<b>Description:</b>
 
The Konkow language (also called Northwestern Maidu — or Koyoongk'awi, as it is called in the language itself) is a part of the Maiduan language group. Since the word koyoo means "meadow" in Konkow, it might also be reasonably called "Meadow Maidu." It is spoken in California and is a severely endangered language, as only two or three persons remain who speak it as a first language are still living. As part of an effort to regain official recognition of the Konkow as a tribe from the United States government, an effort to preserve the language amongst the remaining members of the tribal group has begun.
Konkow had at least 9 dialects, designated today according to the locality in which each was spoken. These dialects were: Otaki; Mikchopdo; Cherokee; Eskeni; Pulga; Nemsu; Feather Falls; Challenge; and Bidwell Bar. In addition, there may have been many variations within each dialect group; thus, certainly there was no one Konkow language. By the turn of the 19th century there were only four of these dialects still being spoken.
Since 2002, a dialect which could be called "Modern Konkow," based on the Cherokee dialect of Konkow, has come into limited use by some California native<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=4034912 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
